A couple of other things that don't make sense about the mid-year budget cuts:
It sounds like the schools are being asked to take a per pupil currently enrolled
cut (although the exact formula is
not in the WCCO story, nor is it available from anyone I've talked in the schools.)
In other words, the cuts don't
correspond to the number of students that are not enrolled that were projected to be
enrolled at that school. Which then
suggests that the cuts are due simply to bad budgeting. We should expect a better
performance at hitting the numbers.
The other big question mark is, how is the budget being reworked before the
contract with the teachers is signed, or
has it been signed and nobody is talking about it?
